Good morning, Springdale.

An 18-wheeler crash with reported injuries slowed traffic on Interstate 49 near the Bobby Hopper Tunnel on Jul 15 at 5:42 a.m.—all lanes were affected—and the Arkansas Department of Transportation said traffic was moving along the right shoulder at mile marker 41.

The Medium at 214 S. Main St. in Springdale said 37 creatives, performers and cultural organizers will get nearly $150,000 from the 2025/2026 Creative Exchange Fund and will use its theater, exhibition hall, studios and outdoor grounds.

The program is in its third year—many winners are first-timers—and a calendar of events will be released in August.

Springdale Water Utilities officials are planning 15 projects to upgrade the city’s wastewater treatment system — including sewer line work that will affect Sunset Avenue — with improvements set to begin soon.
